In this Scenario, instead of using the Adobe branded Landing page, Users will see a customized Authentication dialog. A war needs to be created and deployed on the ADEP DOC SERVER .

Please note the following items, while implementing the custom war:

1. The html forms should be designed in such a way that after successful authentication the html page closes automatically (look at secure/welcome.jsp in the war)

2. You should pass the username as j_username and password as j_password from your authentication form. You also need to pass the source_url and login_url as hidden params. Check login.jsp in the war for reference.

Steps:

Create a custom war, sample.war, that has the logic to accept user credentials and authenticate against the ADEPDoc Server

Deploy sample.war on the ADEPDoc Server

In the Server Configuration page in Admin UI, enter the link to this sample.war

Extended Authentication can also make use of the different types of Authentications available on ADEP DOC SERVER. If SAML Providers are configured on ADEP DOC SERVER, then before seeing the Landing URL , the Users will see a page where all the Identity Providers, configured for SAML Authentications are listed down

Prerequisite: Configure SAML authentication on ADEP DOC SERVER server

The following screen is shown when a protected document is opened up in Acrobat 10.1 /Reader 10.1

Extended Authentication on Sandboxed mode of Reader

On Sandboxed mode of Reader 10.1.1, an additional verification is required, for extended authentication.If the User choses to ‘Always allow’ the URL to be added to the trusted URLS , then this verification will not appear again, for that server.
